[APP][02-10-2008] PaymentCalc [v0.11] Very very Beta ! :P [NO INSTALL]

[willyy1991]

Hi i'm presenting PaymentCalc. ,
A program that can calculate some information about your monthly minutes/hours/percentages if you have a non-prepaid phone.

First of all i made this because i needed it and i thought maybe someone would like to have it to so i'll just upload it. Im from holland and the way i get to know how much is left from my free minutes sucks so i build a small calculator which can calculate how much i should be using each day to not go over my free minutes so i won't have to pay extra.

-Todo;

Add a feature to save settings
Add a feature to calculate how much it costs if you call X minutes over your free minutes
Add SMS support

# means done> will be in next release!

Absolute:
This means it will calculate a number that is always the same, because it calculates the number over the whole month.

Used:
How many minutes you should have used to keep on to the schedule.

Left:
How many minutes you should have left to keep on to the schedule.

Relative:
This means it will calculate a variable that will changes each day, because it calculates how much you can call each day on how much minutes you have left and how many days there are until you will get new free minutes.

Tested & worked on my Diamond,
Screenshot from above is from a Windows Mobile 5.0 Emulator so it's got to work on WM 5.0 to,
You may need .NET Framework 3.5 ..

Good question :P hahah, i added a download link,

can you also add an option for the pulsing?
as with 60/1 only counting the phoned minutes will result in a wrong result...

maybe it is allready included? (sry cant check as my diamond lyes in my girlfriends car ;D )

i don't understand what you meen by pulsing, could you explain it..

[kikakeule]

the pulsing is the way the operator is calculating the time i call people
so if i call someone and it lasts 42seconds it would cost me:
1min with a 60/1 pulsing
50second with a 10/10 pulsing

or if it only last 3seconds (e.g. mailbox) it would cost me:
again 1min with 60/1 pulsing
and oinly 10seconds with 10/10 pulsing

so the first number says what the pulsing is in the first minute:
in 60/1 this results in every call i do costing me 1minute
andf in 10/10 its rounded up top the next tenner

the second number says what the pulsing is in all following minutes
with 60/1 it would be to the second
and with 10/10 it would again round up to the next tenner

i hope its understandable now and sry for the bad english ;D

Hi Willyy1991,

I use application called Smaato Cost for the same reason.

Check it out at www.smaato.com for some ideas. :)

After reading it 5 times i understood:P, good idea, but doesnt every operator do it different, but i can always add options.. hmm im thinking of making a small project of this program, got some idea's from smaato cost too, ill update the app every once in the wile just keep checking;)

From what i read i think its a nice app but the ads suck, so i got some idea's and i'll ad them to my program:)

[timoline]

Hi, nice application

Maybe it's me but I do not really understand it
I have

175 min.or 350 sms

costs
inside bundel 0,14c
outside bundel 0,24c

start of month 29,

If I calculate now, I used 1 minute, 174 left....but that's not correct?
Or I misunderstood the program

Yeah, sry but didn't knew a better way explaining it
of course every operator handles this different, that's what it made nescessary, i'd love to have such option

[oscahie]

Do you need to have this app running in background or is it able to parse the call history logs?

[willyy1991]

No, you press the stroke of the grid, the blue field around the callog box in payment calc(it is a 'button'), and it will parse your call history and add it :)

Thanks, I'll be using your app soon, my contract with Telfort starts on 15th October-

I might come with some suggestions/fixes for you :)

[timoline]

Hi,

nice progression:)
On my phone I have NO Bleu field arround the callog box, it's grey

Love to test the next version(s)

Thanx

[oscahie]

Do you still provide support for this app? I've installed it today and it doesn't work... the minutes are counted incorrectly, I think it's adding all the call logs I have instead of only those from the last period.

[sheeno50]

Is there a way to add an option of free incoming minutes, or even getting free minutes from a certain time to a certain time? For instance some people have 250 weekday minutes and then 1000 minutes on weekends and weekdays from 9pm to 9am or some people have unlimited weekends and minutes from 6pm to 7am etc...

And yea, my carrier rounds all calls up to the minute :mad:

Sounds good though!

[nickokio]

going to try this...need an app like this for my new provider and lcminutes is too complex

[joey7415963]

Hi,

Might just be me not understanding the programme properly, but the way I see it is you tap in your contract details and then from that it measures how much you use your phone.

Does the app' monitor what type of numbers you are phone calling, e.g. '09' or '08' numbers will usually be charged so is there a way of excluding them from the calculation and placing into another calculation for chargeable rates?

Brilliant app though!
Keep up the good work!
